Siemens wins Euro 80 million Turbomachinery Contracts from Europe South America, and the Middle East

Siemens Power Generation (PG) announced today that it has secured orders for industrial turbomachinery equipment, with a combined value of EUR 80 million. The company will provide six gas turbines to Russia, Venezuela, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. Four steam turbines will be supplied to Qatar and Poland.

"Having successfully completed the integration of Alstom’s industrial turbine business, Siemens PG can now offer complete solutions to the industry. These solutions can be used for industrial gas and steam turbines, turnkey power plants and complete compressor trains. This will enable Siemens to serve both industrial customers as well as the oil and gas market. This also has a positive impact on our ability to win new orders," remarked Frank Stieler, head of the PG Industrial Applications division..

The Venezuelan state utility Enelbar ordered two SGT-800 (formerly called GTX100) gas turbine-generators, each with an output of 45MW. They will be installed at a new gas turbine power plant in Palavecino in northwest Venezuela. These 60-Hz machines are designed for liquid and gaseous fuels. The contract was awarded by the local EPC supplier Jantesa, which is constructing the overall plant. These are the first SGT-800 turbines supplied to South America, constituting an important breakthrough for Siemens in this output range..

PG also received other orders in Russia. The company will supply an SGT-600 (previously called GT10B) turbine-generator, rated at 24 MW, to the Chepetsk machinery manufacturing plant in Glasov to provide electricity and heat. This machine will be integrated into an existing steam turbine-based combined heat and power plant and will run on natural gas..

Moscow-based TechnoServ A.S. awarded a contract to PG for the supply of an SGT-300 (formerly called Tempest) gas turbine-generator for Severnaya Neft in Usinsk, which is part of the Rosneft group of companies. This machine is the first 7.9 MW gas turbine to be supplied by Siemens to the Russian Federation. Casinghead gas, containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which is normally flared off, will be used to power this gas turbine..

Another SGT-300 (formerly called Tempest) gas-fired turbine-generator, with an output of 7.9 MW, will be supplied to Petrofac International Ltd. on behalf of the Crescent Petroleum Company in the United Arab Emirates. This unit will supply power for a new gas processing facility at the SajGas gas plant in Sharjah, which is being built by Crescent Petroleum on behalf of SajGas Co..

PG will supply a 4.7-MW SGT-100 (formerly called Typhoon) gas turbine-generator to Engineering for the Petroleum Process Industry (ENPPI) in Egypt. The machine will be installed at a facility operated by Burullus Gas Company and will provide electrical power for the Sapphire field onshore processing terminal, which is currently being constructed 50 kilometers east of Alexandria..

JGC Corporation of Japan ordered three SST-400 (formerly called ST4) backpressure steam turbines with an output of 32 MW each on behalf of Dolphin Energy Ltd. of the United Arab Emirates. This is the single largest energy initiative ever to be undertaken in the Middle East, and its objective is to ensure the efficient, long-term supply of pure natural gas from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates. The steam from the Siemens turbines will be used in the Ras Laffan gas separation plant, which processes liquid hydrocarbon products, such as condensates (gaseous Oil) and liquefied gases. The remaining natural gas is then treated for use in driving the compressors and transported by pipeline to the United Arab Emirates.

Siemens also will supply a 97-MW condensing extraction steam turbine to EC Warszawskie, Poland, for the Zeran heating plant in Warsaw. The order was awarded by a consortium involving Polimex – Mostostal Siedlce S.A. and Zaklady Remontowe Energetyki Warszawa. The Siemens PG scope of supply includes an SST-600 (previously called NK) steam turbine-generator, along with the feedwater heater and district heaters. The new plant will replace two obsolete turbine-generators rated at 20 and 35 MW.
